Happiness is ...

A famous man once said, "Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory." And maybe he was right. But for me, happiness is ... getting to choose between two job offers from two great ad agencies.

And now that choice is made.

Yes my avid readers, I shall once again be gainfully employed - a trait I have found surprisingly difficult here in America. But they say practice makes perfect. And while nobody's perfect, some of us are closer than others.

Soon, I shall once again be able to relish is all that is happiness, for surely happiness is ... being able to pay rent, keeping the lights on at home after the electric company has sent you a disconnection notice, looking forward to work on a Monday morning.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

Happiness is man's greatest aim in life. Tranquility and rationality are the cornerstones of happiness.

Happiness is contagious...when you reflect happiness, then all others around you catch the happy bug and are happy, too.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Happiness is an inner state of well being. A state of well being enables you to profit from your highest: thoughts, wisdom, intelligence, common sense, emotions, health, and spiritual values in your life.

Happiness ain't a thing in itself--it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant.

Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.

Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like the violin.

Happiness is finally being able to work again. Long live job offers.
